ReplyDeleteOnce you repay the loan in full, including interest, you receive your property back. If you do not repay the loan within the time set forth in the terms, the collateral then becomes the property of the pawn shop. If you cannot repay the loan, you may surrender your loaned item as payment in full or apply for a loan extension or renewal. pawn shop on baseline

ReplyDeletePawn shop laws will vary from state to state. In general a bankruptcy court will look to local laws to determine when a pawn loan is in default. Local laws will also set out the rules about what a borrower needs to do in order to keep his pawn loan out of default - usually this mean tendering an interest payment. closest pawn shop to my current location
